The Democratic Party has long made a habit of preemptively surrendering major fights with Republicans before they even begin. They’ll have to change that right now if Democrats want to block a Supreme Court replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has the power to try to stop Trump’s nominee, but he has previously caved to the GOP on judges. The only way he’ll put up a fight is if he feels pressure from his left.
Everything is awful right now, and the barriers to making things better are steep. But more and more people know that the status quo cannot continue — and more and more people are fighting, even winning, battles on behalf of a better world for everyone.

Weeks before the election, Donald Trump is now citing Bob Woodward’s self-serving decision to suppress the shocking coronavirus audiotape as proof that he did nothing wrong.
A health care lobby group hired Trump’s former lawyer and gave millions to Democrats — now criminal nursing home and hospital execs may get special protections from COVID lawsuits.

Ed Markey, the Democratic Massachusetts senator facing a tough primary challenge from Joe Kennedy III, is known for the Green New Deal — but he also has a history of drawing the ire of Wall Street.
Proposed Democratic legislation would end a special tax break for Wall Street executives — but the bill is stalled in Rep. Richard Neal’s committee, as Wall Street bankrolls his campaign to try to fight off his progressive primary challenger, Alex Morse.
Yesterday, Trump’s USPS chairman, Robert Duncan, confirmed he had served on two Republican super PACs — at the same time new documents showed that the GOP takeover of the United States Postal Service coincided with a significant slowdown in mail delivery just months before the November election.

We are all told to be enthusiastic about the Democrats’ political fraudulence and terrible policy platform so we can defeat Trump. But anyone who is paying attention and can remember our recent political past isn’t happy — we’re completely demoralized. And that’s okay.
For-profit health companies are launching a new national ad campaign to persuade Democrats to abandon their plans to create a public health insurance plan — something many elected Democrats are very happy to be convinced of.
